Melty Sunday

For all my friends in other parts of the world (read this to mean "warmer than here"), this is not a big deal.  But here, it's a HUGE deal!  We're above freezing today!  In fact, we're at 40 degrees!!

So, what do I do on a day like today??  Go hide out in my studio, of course!!  Well, this is one of the weekends when I CAN hide out in my studio, and so I did.  So many others are filled with job requirements that it becomes precious when I can just sit and make stuff.

Lots of jewelry made, and posted to etsy.  Walked by the paintings in progress - I'm feeling an itch to get after some of them, and there's a long weekend coming up.  Perhaps I'll be able to complete that long-awaited painting that was the sister to the one I donated to the ASBDA auction this summer.  And perhaps I'll see where the new ones sitting on my drying racks take me - they've been sitting there waiting to accept paint for quite some time. 

Well, I guess I'd better go tackle my list of 'real world' things to do, like go buy laundry detergent and drop off the bills at the post office.  Wouldn't it be great if that didn't take priority??  Until next time - take care!

SNOW DAY!!

It's a snow day here, and then some!  Actually at this very moment, as I am typing, the sun is shining. But... the temperature has dropped due to the storm that rolled through, and the wind is just howling - my guess is that the wind chill is in the minus something degrees out there.  A true snow day, just like I remember them from my childhood. 

I remember bundling all up and going outside on a snow day - that was just wonderful!  Do you remember the smell of wet wool?  Coming inside after rolling around out in the snow and having the time of your life?  I do - happy happy memories!

I always have a "snow day" list of things to do, but today, I'm thinking tops on my list is reading, napping, and maybe writing a couple of letters. 

I've put a sale on my Etsy shop - 12% off if you use the code "SNOWDAY" - just for today.

I hope you have a great day today, whatever you are doing!
